But for this week, guys, 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 2: let's start off with a couple of games on Wednesday 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: and Thursday selections I've curated for the group here considerations, 34 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: and then get to a couple of year suggestions as well, 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: starting with Xavier at Marquette on Wednesday. Xavier a six 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: point dog per kem pom. Now, I know Marquette jim 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: is a tough place to play, but Xavier is a 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: tough team and they don't often catch six points, especially 39 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 2: in this year's Big East. 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: Do you think they have a chance? Nobody comes into 41 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: the five serve, Hi, come on, look what having a 42 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: Baylor a while back, now there's a chance. But no 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: Fremantle is a problem in Matthew. As you pointed out 44 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: Astuteley in our internal group chat, sou Let Boom might 45 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: be a little bit limited here, big time guard for Xavier, 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 1: and if he is not effective, Xavier is not really effective, 47 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: they kind of go as he goes. As much as 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: I love my guy Nungee, my doppelganger, my seven foot 49 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 1: look alike, I think this is gonna be Marquette's game 50 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do it. Can't 51 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: pull the trigger. 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: Here, yeah, and even in Boom, here comes, the boom 53 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 2: does not come to this game as from a can. 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: This screams over to me. Obviously, Ken Palm will have 55 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: that price in. It's currently protected at one hundred and 56 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: sixty eight. My goodness. First matchup was not losing, but 57 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: only played the sixty nine possessions and one hundred and 58 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: seventies of one hundred and fifty six. I can't do 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: math carry the one. 60 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that game died. 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: It was like spiral tag and it's just right, okay, 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: I like you over here. I think I'll probably be 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: in the clouds. But I think this is an absolute 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: up and down. Xavier can't guard anybody in the printer, 65 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: that's the problem. And Markette is like as good as 66 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,399 Speaker 2: anyone in the country at beating you with all five 67 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: guys from the printer. 68 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: That's their whole m. 69 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: Indeed, they are a game here. I do like Fellas, 70 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: which I am going to take Drake at Northern Iowa. Now, 71 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: the Panthers have lost five straight, but they're tough at 72 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: home and Matt their last game againstraight. Their only other 73 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: game this season, it was a double ot loss at Drake. 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: I think you and I. 75 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: Returns the favor here. It gets back on the winning 76 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 2: path and beats Strake on Wednesday. I can't get there. 77 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: I've been kind of out on this store on the Iowa 78 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: team all year. I still stunned that they are sitting 79 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: where they are in conference. But I guess they've dropped 80 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: the last five right, eight and eight. As you've alluded to, their. 81 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Schedule has gotten a lot tougher and a lot tougher. 82 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 2: It's a young team Kai, and it's a team that 83 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: I think has the hit a freshman wall written all 84 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: over it. And I just think Drake's better. And I 85 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: think they're all get pissed off about that that first 86 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: go round. So I know they won that game doublet 87 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: but I think they're like, Okay, we're not going to 88 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: take this team lightly. We know we're the elder States 89 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 2: are in the room, but still are in state rival 90 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: and we're gonna put the put the hurt and on gym. 91 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: So I like Drake here. I'm sorry, Lame. 92 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 1: I like Drake two. I wonder if they have just 93 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: kind of righted the ship. At beginning of the year, 94 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: they were kind of the clear favorite, this is the 95 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: best team in the valley and who's going to finish second? 96 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: But man last two games, they have been a juggernaut. 97 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: Blue Lot Murray State by twenty four, Southern Illinois by 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: twenty three, two teams that were like in the top 99 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: half of the standings kind of chasing Drake and that 100 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: really shows I think where the level has gotten. Two 101 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: with them, they had Tucker DeVries miss the one game, 102 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: then they won two straight double overtime games, including that 103 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: one Kai mentioned against Northern Iowa, and then the last 104 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: two just really really ripped off awesome performances. So I'm 105 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: I'm leaning Drake as well. Kai. 106 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: Interesting fact, in his five years, Darrin Breeze has only 107 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 2: swept Northern Iowa one time, that was in twenty twenty one. 108 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 2: Every of the year has been split. Maybe not that's 109 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: that interesting, but I thought it was next game Saint 110 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: Jo's at Duquine about an eight point dog is the 111 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 2: Saint Jose Hawks, And I'll tell you what I'm taking 112 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: this one as well. Why Saint Jose has been playing 113 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 2: very very well recently. They are seven and two in 114 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: their last nine games. But Jim, the question is Casper 115 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 2: Klaccic is he going to play for Saint Jose's game. 116 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 2: He is quite important, he's missed the last few. 117 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm in Either way, I think even if Classic's not 118 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: out there, I like the way Jose is trending. They've 119 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: got a lot more playmaking this year. They seem a 120 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: little lot more cohesive to last year. It was very 121 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: much just one man, Jordan Hall runs the show and 122 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: the other guys kind of have to exist around him, 123 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: live in his orbit. This year it's more democratic, has 124 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: more sorted out. Reynolds and Greer have become kind of 125 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: two dual ball handlers. And I do like Dukane Matthew 126 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: that's actually playing fairly well also. But I think there's 127 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: enough variance here. Saint Jose is trending up enough that 128 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: I'll ride with Billy Lang maybe the last time I 129 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: ever say that in my life. 130 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: Hapital A v variants. Jim Hazel Metrics great metric of 131 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: consistency KAI teams that perform similar game to gamers. A 132 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 2: team that are Jec Glinn Hyde Ducaine three hundred and 133 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: fifty fifth inconsistency, which completely adds up to me. Jim, 134 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: I thought they were going to be kind of a 135 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: rocket ship once they got McGriff back, but then they've 136 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: had some really odd losses, so many of which have 137 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: not been very competitive. I kind of like the Saint 138 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: Jose angle here. I don't like the Saint Joe's team 139 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: that much. Now they're playing better, But from a moneyline perspective, 140 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: if you like Saint Jose, I think it's a pretty 141 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: good wager, just with how up and down this Duke's 142 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: team is. Yeah, their guard play, Santos gard play can 143 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 2: be very good, very good when they are at their. 144 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: At their peak. 145 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 2: On Thursday, guys, I have three more options for you. 146 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: This one's a little tongue in cheek, but let's discuss 147 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,799 Speaker 2: Gonzaga at Loyle and Marymount Lmu plus six home dogs. 148 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: Who says no to a season and sweep? Jim, you 149 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: say no? 150 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: I I tried to look up the last time a 151 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: non Saint Mary's or BYU team swept Gonzaga and the 152 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: search said, what are you doing? Go away? What do 153 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: you really think this has happened to more on? Yeah, 154 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it has. Yeah, so I don't know 155 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: that I can get on board. LMU has been really, 156 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: really feisty though, and they went at Kenzagon. I think 157 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: get him back home. They had to come from behind 158 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: victory against Saint Mary's last Thursday. They're capable. This spread's 159 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: only six though that I fear angry Gonzaga at the 160 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: stage also with a title in their sights. They're trying 161 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: to catch Saint Mary's for atop the WCC. 162 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'll use been awesome, like to take 163 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: away two games after the Pepperdine blowout, we'll come out 164 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: of four game one streaks like they've done really nothing wrong. 165 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: But now I'm not gonna take this. 166 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 167 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 2: Canzaga has win this game. There's no way they lose 168 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: this game. I just didn't only this gam LMU is 169 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: the only team ever in the WCC to be b YU, 170 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 2: Canzaga and Saint Mary's in the same year. There's only 171 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: seven teams. I can really do that because the other 172 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: three don't count, but still interesting. Next game here, the 173 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: a Sun has a two way tie right now at 174 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: the top, which is a bit surprising. Liberty in Kinnessaw State. 175 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: Kennesau State is hosting Liberty in this game. It's their 176 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: only matchup of the season, and ken State is a 177 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: five point home dog. It's gonna be a tough battle. 178 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: Matthew and I think we've said on this podcast before 179 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: asun home is nuts this season one of the best 180 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: in the country in terms of home teams covering and 181 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: winning out right. Do you like the Owls against the Flames. 182 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: Owls can shoot, supposed to beat Liberty with the long ball, 183 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: or so they say. The pack line defense here, that's 184 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: how you soften it up. 185 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 186 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: I stall watch Kannesaw make threes from twenty five feet 187 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: nowt against my Indiana Hoosiers. It seemed to absolutely stroke 188 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 2: at multiple guys that can make shots. How you mentioned 189 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: the home dominance of a Sun teams kind of a 190 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: weird geographically placed conference. I don't think they beat Liberty, 191 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: but man, I think it's awfully competitive here. Liberty is 192 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 2: just such a tough team to fade. 193 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: I disavowed this. I have Liberty to win the a 194 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: Sun futures, so I need my Flames to win this game. 195 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: A little bit of a future cash waged on that. Matt, 196 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned Kennesav being able to shoot over the top, Well, 197 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: Liberty can too. That's exactly what they want to do. 198 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: Fourth in the country in three point at tenth rate. 199 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: Kennesaw pretty compact defense, more or less content to let 200 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: you shoot over the top. I kind of think Liberty 201 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: wins a shootout. They've got the best player on the 202 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: floor in the gee, probably the player of the year 203 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: in that conference. I can't get their kai and maybe 204 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: there's some personal bias in that, but I'm not going 205 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: to officially register this one. 206 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: I have fun stat here a soun number one conference 207 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: in three point at tenth rate. Obviously Liberty is a 208 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 2: big part of that. But interesting that we always say, oh, 209 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: the way to be liberty is you have to shoot 210 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: three against the pack. Clients like Lear in the conference 211 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: that shoots the most, and they're actually the eleventh of 212 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 2: thirty two conferences in three point percentage. There is still 213 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: dominating those people, so like, clearly they are I mean 214 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: to that stupid cliche ERRAI if I just puted sorry. 215 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: There's more. There's more angles. 216 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 2: You have to take liberty from, more swords in the 217 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 2: barrel if you will feel about the last option here 218 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: for me fellas, which I am taking as well. Western 219 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: Kentucky plus six per Ken Pump at Charlotte on Thursday. 220 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: Now. 221 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: They lost to Charlotte by four in the first game. 222 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: They have won three straight since then, and Matt in 223 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 2: that first matchup between Charlotte and Western Kentucky, Jamari and 224 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 2: Sharp did not play. Obviously a pretty huge factor here 225 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: in rick Stansbury. We tend to like a lot more 226 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: as a dog. Yeah, it's a team that has a 227 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: ton of talent and that I think is just engaged 228 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 2: when they're playing talent that's of like or better. And 229 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: they've also had a week off they played last Thursday. 230 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: That might matter at this point of the season where 231 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: I think you're starting to feel some weary legs, the 232 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,319 Speaker 2: dog days of conference play up set in. So I 233 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 2: kind of think they win this game. And it's annoying 234 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: because as a team I was looking to back all 235 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: year and I lost a lot of money early. I 236 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,359 Speaker 2: gave up on them too late. Maybe now I stubbornly 237 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: come back in on the Bioo bandwagon. 238 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: Jimbo, I definitely lean this way with you guys. WK 239 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: you much much better as a dog. As Kay said, 240 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: it's just this total Stansbury tradition. The reason I'm not 241 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: going to officially lock it in just because hey, this 242 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: is another pack line team in Charlotte with Tony Bennett 243 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: coaching tree and WK you does not have Luke Frampton. 244 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: He is out, So I believe Torney cl He's done 245 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: for the year best shooter, best premier shooter by far. 246 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: On that roster. They're starting to get a little bit 247 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: more from Dante Allen. He is a fully capable three 248 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: point shooter. Step in, I mean formerly of Kentucky. I 249 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: think a lot of people probably remember him from there. 250 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: But with no Frampton, Kai, I'm not going to go 251 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: all the way there and take it. I would definitely 252 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: bet WKU to cover though, love it. 253 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: I got more options guys on Thursday, possibly here, Jim, 254 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: you want to cover these two? 255 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, Southeastern Louisiana plus eight at Northwestern State. Northwestern State's 256 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 1: kind of a matt. I wonder where they rank in 257 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: that consistency rating if you still have it up, because 258 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: they've had some really really awesome efforts, had some questionable 259 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: losses as well. Talented team basically we call him Missouri 260 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: State South because their coach was an assistant there and 261 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: they brought a few transfers with them, So tempted by 262 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: SILA and then I'm also going to take Delaware plus 263 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: seven at Towson. Kay, we kind of talked about last 264 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: night in our court chat, how Tawson is starting to 265 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: sink a little bit, just not up to the same 266 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: standard they were last year in Delaware getting a little 267 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: bit healthier, Gotjied Davis back last game. I think they've 268 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: got a chance to win on the road at Towson. Matt, 269 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: did you find us some data. 270 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: Three hundred and fifteenth Jimbo? So, yes, they are not 271 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 2: that consistent. They are a lot better at home. I 272 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: think you mentioned this in Paslemetric. God, what a great 273 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: site create data Guru two hundred and eighty ninth, And 274 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 2: they're away from home metrics, So that ten that plays 275 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: better at home doesn't play as well on the road. Unfortunately, 276 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: Northwestern State is at home and then is at home here. 277 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: So that's why I disavow Jimbo's take care. Sorry, they're 278 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: also number two overall in the country, an ATS record 279 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: at Northwestern State seventeen and seven. Not a bad ATS team. 280 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 2: I do like the Delaware play though, Jim Tousand losing 281 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: to Drexel and William and Mary back to back games. 282 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: Drexel was short handed, it was on the road both games, 283 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 2: but still maybe a sign that Towsand's just kind of 284 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: fallen down the well here. 285 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: I will also mentioned William and Mary was super short 286 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: handed too, missing like three and a half starters. Yeah, 287 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,719 Speaker 1: Thowsand's really in. 288 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: Trouble right now. This is a problem. Yeah, Wow, Pat scary. 289 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: What are you doing? Man? Get it together? 290 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: All right, fellas to recap, I'm taking Western Kentucky, Saint 291 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: Joe's and Northern Iowa from the Live Dog section. 292 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: Jim, who do you got joining you with Saint Joseph? 293 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: Saint jose and Delaware. Those are my two official ones, 294 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: not actually going to lock in Southeastern Louisiana. 295 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: And I'm only taking the tops because we stupidly beat 296 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,719 Speaker 2: our chest at the undefeated record last weekend. So I'm 297 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: trying to hedge the inevitable pendulum swing right back to 298 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: the nutsack here all Yes, the old pendulum to the nutsack. 299 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: Matthew Cox, all right, next section, blowout City. Hey, last 300 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: week did pretty well in the section, guys. We called 301 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 2: two out of three blowouts correctly. Houston took down Tulsa 302 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: by thirty eight points. Oh my goodness. Just not a 303 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: good matchup for Tulsa. There, Ucla fell short. They beat 304 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: the Beavers by fifteen. I don't think that covered the 305 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 2: actual spread. It did push the Kim Pomp spread discussed 306 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 2: half credit for US there, I guess, and an Arizona 307 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: they beat Cal by twenty three. No problem for the 308 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 2: Wildcats this week, guys. I got one game on Wednesday 309 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: and one game on Thursday. 310 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: Matt. 311 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: On Wednesday, I'm going with Virginia minus sixteen. 312 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: Per Kim Pomp. 313 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: At Louisville, it just feels like a classic crock Pot 314 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: City type of game against the Cardinals. We know Louisville 315 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: is terrible this year and they can't really shoot, and 316 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: that's a problem against the pack line. It's a major problem. Yeah, 317 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: at this point, it's like how low can Louisville go? 318 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: I mean they can keep going lower for sure. It's 319 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: just I like your Thursday one more Kai, So I'll 320 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: hold for my stronger takes until I Adorge the next one. Jim, 321 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: are you taking the Who's on the Road? 322 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably. I think Louisville's really really bad. And they 323 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: had their their decent stretch where they got to win 324 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: or Jeorge attack and it was like, Okay, hey, maybe 325 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: they're trending up since then not overly competitive, and that's 326 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: just what Virginia does. They just slowly but surely destroy you. 327 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: And that's a team. If you can't shoot over the top, 328 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: you're in trouble. And Louisville can't shoot, it's LLS or nobody. 329 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: And I think they're going to have some real problems 330 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: with that pack line. 331 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: Matt. On Thursday, the game you said you liked better, 332 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: Hampton is going to Hofstra. Hofstra is going to be 333 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: laying twenty per kim pum. 334 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: It might even be higher. 335 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: In the actual market, Matt. Hawstra is eight to zer 336 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: against the spread their last eight games. 337 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: Yikes. 338 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: Did they just keep on rolling here? 339 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? 340 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: Because Hampton just played a Saturday at Charleston. Actually we're 341 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 2: kind of competitive in that game by Hampton standards. And 342 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: then they almost mounted an unreal comeback against Elon on Monday. 343 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: So that's their third game already this week, and they 344 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: have Drexel looming over the weekend. So sort of a 345 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,359 Speaker 2: weird spot here where I think they kind of exhausted 346 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: their energy in those last two games, and I think 347 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: Affer just put them to better real quickly here and 348 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: they roll over like all right, you know that was 349 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: a fun little two game stretch where we played better. 350 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 2: Let's get ready for Drexel over the weekend, and they 351 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: lose by thirty. 352 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like both Hofstra and Charleston are trending 353 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: way up and as asserting their dominance before the conference tournament. 354 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: Last couple of games for Charleston went by thirty six, thirteen, 355 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: thirty two seven. Seen Host, Like you said, guy has 356 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: been rolling against the number two. I would lean towards 357 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: the pride there. 358 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: Worth noting game one Hostra led by as many as 359 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: nineteen points. They won by sixteen on the road at Hampton. 360 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 2: Seems like an okay, okay, bet going the other. 361 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: Way, all right. 362 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: Before we get to our power games the week, a 363 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: quick message of our dear sponsor. 364 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: College basketball season is in full swing, so get in 365 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: on the action with the King of Sportsbooks.

Oh I could feel it. Let's do it. 396 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: Two games on Wednesday, one game on Thursday. I'm starting 397 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 2: the SEC one of the best games of the season. 398 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: I would say it's Alabama at Tennessee Tennessee minus two 399 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: per ken Pum might surprise some people out there, given 400 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: Alabama has a big fat number one next to its 401 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 2: name in the AP pole but Jane, we don't care 402 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 2: about the ap pole. And frankly, this spot is pretty 403 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 2: huge for Tennessee, who's lost three out of four, lost 404 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: two straight. Who do you like in this game? 405 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: The line sleuths are going to be all over Tennessee 406 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: here because what the number one team is an underdog 407 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: against a team that's lost two straight. That's impossible. So 408 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: a lot of people I think will be betting Tennessee. 409 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: I like Bama. The one thing that does scare me 410 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: is the spot for Tennessee potential bi low lost two 411 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: straight buzzer beaters. I don't think that takes the wind 412 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: out of their sales. I think that motivates them. The 413 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: issue for them is injuries. If Josiah Jordan James and 414 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: Julian Phillips are both out, Matt those are there like 415 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: Jackson ball trade Swiss army knife type players. Take both 416 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: of them out of the lineup against Alabama, who has 417 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: a billion of them, I think the tie can wear 418 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: him down with depth. I think they're a worthy number 419 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: one team, and if you can get the short handed balls, 420 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm probably going to lean towards the tide. 421 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 2: Yeah partly wants to take Tennessee heere, but I think 422 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: the injuries keeps me away Jimmy right, like just out 423 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: of Jordan James All. I mean, they lost the last 424 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 2: game without him against the Miszoo. All three of their 425 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 2: other SEC losses, he was a non factor, and I 426 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: think he was hobbled in the Vanderbilt game and somewhat 427 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 2: in the Florida game. I think he's so important, Like 428 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: he's there one of the best shooters, he's a defensive 429 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: linebacker and so originally he's actually a really good passer too. 430 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 2: Like this team doesn't really have a lot of creation. 431 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 2: It's kind of the knock on them, right, they're overly 432 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: stuck in the mud and how they overly execute. But 433 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: he's kind of a guy that can get in the 434 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 2: lane and now like a break down the drill guy. 435 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: He's a good passer. 436 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 2: I just think he adds lots to the table that 437 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: this team badly needs. And you can just look at 438 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 2: the splits with them without him and Phillips. I mean 439 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 2: he's been an absolute freak this year too, not touching 440 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 2: tennessee the ton foot poll cli if those guys are out, 441 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 2: that's allesome. Yeah, I definitely wait and see on the 442 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: personnel there for me, if it's all healthy, ideallying towards 443 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: Tennessee in this game, I'm just a great spot. 444 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: I'll mention. On the other side of the personnel, Charles 445 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: Bettiaco sustained a minor knee injury, they're saying, and he 446 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: is day to day. For Alabama, They've got a ton 447 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: of depth. They'll play a lot more Clowney and Gurley 448 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: in the paint. I think that's okay, But Bettiaco is 449 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: a beast and it would be a great option against 450 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: mister Plovsych in the lane. 451 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: Yes, the rebounding crashing of Tennessee. Next game on Wednesday, 452 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 2: TCU at Iowa State. 453 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: It's a big. 454 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 2: Twelve matchup the Clones favored by four per Kimpom at 455 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: Hilton Arena. The Clones have lost four of five and 456 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: actually just dropped a game at Hilton to Okloma State. 457 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 2: A bit surprising, but matt TCU also has lost three straight, 458 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 2: also four of five. They've been missing Mike Miles, their 459 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: point guard, quite dearly. There's a lot of tournament seed 460 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 2: implications here with both teams kind of wavering both in 461 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 2: the middle five four seeds, six seed conversation as a reminder, 462 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: Iowa State beat TCU at TCU earlier this season, beat 463 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: him by two. Is a close game. Who do you 464 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 2: like in this one? Yeah, tough to back TCU with 465 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 2: the injuries they're dealing with here. I can't believe they've 466 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 2: actually shot worse from three in conference play than they 467 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 2: did in non conference. I think it was kind of like, 468 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 2: this team can't shoot, but they can't be a twenty 469 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: seven percent three point shooting team. Candid, It's like, oh, well, no, 470 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: they actually can't. It's what they're shooting so far on 471 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 2: a pretty hardy sample size. But Dixon good coach. You know, 472 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 2: transition get to the rim. Iowa State's tough to do 473 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: that though against Man. I know even without Ward that 474 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: they're still pretty form well at the rim, and I 475 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: would lean their way. 476 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: Jim, Yeah, the spot with the Clones is kind of concerning. 477 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine them losing too straight At Hilton. 478 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: It's just such a great atmosphere gives them a big boost. 479 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: But there's a chance Mike Miles returns here. He apparently 480 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: looked really good in practice today tuesdays we record this 481 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: and has been practicing a little bit. I think they're 482 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: just trying to make sure he is fully healthy before 483 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: they bring him back. They know they're gonna make the tournament. 484 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: They're going to have like somewhere between the four and 485 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: a six seed. Probably not worth rushing him back, but 486 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: if he's good to go here, that's huge against the 487 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: ball pressure of Iowa State trying to force a bunch 488 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: of turnovers. We bring back your best point guard. That's 489 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: very significant. So kaya Miles is in a might lean TCU, 490 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: although there could be some rust for him and trying 491 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: to get confidence back in that knee after the hyper extension. Yeah, definitely. 492 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: You never know if he's going to be fully one 493 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: hundred percent right right out of the gate, if he's 494 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: going to play full full time. Yeah, this is a 495 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 2: tough spread if it's for you know, TCU has been 496 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 2: scrappy without him, but gosh, hard to believe. Ioway stay 497 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: dropping two straight at Hilton. I probably towards the Clones 498 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 2: got to the head Thursday, A big ten matchup Perdue 499 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 2: on the road at Maryland. Perdue minus one a road 500 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: favorite here, Jim Now Maryland the Terps, they've they've won 501 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: five of six. They're ten and four against the spread. 502 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 2: At home this year, and Purdue's lost two of three. 503 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 2: Both games were on the road, clearly not as formidable 504 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 2: as they are at mac Arena. Who do you like 505 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: in this one? 506 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the first meeting Maryland kind of gave him hell 507 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: at mac Arena too, three point final, really really low scoring, 508 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: fifty eight fifty five. Dye had a big game, what 509 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: do you know? But Maryland did a nice job in 510 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: negating pretty much everybody else. And that's what you have 511 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: to do against Purdue. That's what Northwestern did. Second half 512 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: against Northwestern, I believe Purdue was like two of thirteen 513 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: from three and had twelve turnovers, Like just really really bad. Matt. 514 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: We talked early in the season like these are still 515 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: freshman guards playing road games in Big Ten environments. And 516 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: while we liked Smith and Lawyer, they were poor against Northwestern. 517 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: And if this is going to be as hostile as 518 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: any environment in the Big Ten, Maryland's been great there. 519 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: I think I'm probably leaning towards Purdue, but I am 520 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: spooked by the potential for a big, big Maryland effort 521 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: and someone to sit this one out. 522 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, all Maryland's done is won and cover 523 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 2: at home. They're sort of the beacon of this dominant 524 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 2: home ats straight that all the big ten teams are on. 525 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 2: Just be Penn State. They squeaked out a cover in 526 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 2: Pence State was exactly a dominating performance. But Indiana before 527 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 2: that by eleven, Nebraska by nineteen, wisconstant by eighteen, Michigan 528 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: by six, Ohio State by seven back. Ohio State wasn't 529 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: a complete dumpster. So I mean, yeah, fae the terps 530 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 2: at home at your own risk. I do fear four 531 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 2: Perdue because while they can dominate the land, there is 532 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 2: that kind of chess match with the space and versatility 533 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 2: that Maryland offers. On the other end, I think we're 534 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: starting to see the vulnerability and mortalness, if that's a 535 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: word of produce guards, kay, I just think that. 536 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 537 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 2: While I like the freshman Smith and Layer, they've been 538 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: really solid, they were never that heralded as like dominant 539 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 2: you know stars right away. They've just been kind of 540 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: uplifted by Edie's gravitational pull inside, and we're starting to 541 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 2: see maybe some cracks and orders. That's my worry. 542 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: Aw I love Smith and Lawyer. 543 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 2: I think they're awesome, certainly prone to some mistakes, as 544 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 2: most freshmen are, but for the most part, they've been 545 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 2: awesome this season, beyond their years. I would say on 546 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: the court, I think Eddie's gonna smash Maryland inside. He 547 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: did the first game twenty four and sixteen. I mean, 548 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 2: he's do that against everybody. And it was a close 549 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 2: game that first game. The shooting was discussing Maryland three 550 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: for twenty one from three Perdue two for thirteen. Hopefully 551 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 2: we get a bit more or pleasing aesthetic game in 552 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 2: this one. I think towards Purdue, despite Maryland at home, 553 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 2: I think they're a lot better team. I think they 554 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: get off the schneid. Here mid major games of the week, Well, 555 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: we talked Gonzaga lm U a little bit, we talked 556 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 2: Liberty Kennesaw a little bit. Let's talk about three other 557 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 2: games really quick here on Wednesday. In the Big West, 558 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: you see Irvine goes See. You see Santa Barbara, the Babs, 559 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: the Gauchos favored by three for kim Pom Matt. Both 560 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,679 Speaker 2: these teams are top one hundred right now in kem Pom. 561 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 2: They're the class of the Big West. Every single season. 562 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 2: Santa Barbara won Game one by eight points at UCI. 563 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 2: What do you think about this. I'm just looking at 564 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 2: the return of Kai Sye's name for his place in 565 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: your loving germ accent bans Wickton Pie's been back for 566 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: two games, played only eighteen and twelve minutes, respectively, but 567 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: ten points in twelve minutes, nine points in eighteen minutes, 568 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: he matters. 569 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: Quite a bit. 570 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 2: I know they squeaked by cal Pali, but I think 571 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 2: they look like the dominant team to follow up in 572 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 2: his second game back, I think he's the key in 573 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: this one. I like the anti erch and we always 574 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 2: said that there's a rule that we told ourselves. I 575 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: know you've a bannoned this rule, but I stick to it. 576 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 2: When you see Rvine plays, you see Santa Barbara, I 577 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 2: always take Irvine. There's that one year last season where 578 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 2: is the exception of that rule. But I generally trust 579 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 2: Russell Turnaboar that I trust show pass Neck, So. 580 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: There is the exception is carried into this year. Though 581 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: you see Santa Barbara one by eight at Irvine on 582 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: the road. Mister Lichton did not play in that game, 583 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: and neither did Matt your boy, Josh, Pierre Louis or 584 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: Santa Barbara. So two key guys missing from that one. 585 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: This is a blue out in Santa Barbara. They're advertising 586 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 1: there's gonna be one thousand blue shirts for students, like 587 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: they are playing up the nature of this game as 588 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: they should. It's basically for the title. Santa Barbara wins, 589 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: they'll really be the prohibitive favorite. Two games up on 590 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: Irvine with a sweep over them, looking like the class 591 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: of that conference. That does make me a little concerned. 592 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're good enough to run away 593 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: with this league, but KAI dueling the Gauchos should be 594 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: a half court game, which suits because they don't have 595 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: a lot of depth UCSB, but they're starting five is 596 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: the best in the league, and as long as you 597 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 1: don't get a super hot shooting game from Irvine, which 598 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: they have been prone to do this year. I like 599 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: the Gauchos. 600 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: I like the Gauchos as well. And the wise words 601 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 2: of Tobias fi and K I blew myself. I'm afraid 602 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: I just blew myself. 603 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: It's got to be a better way to say that, 604 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: I blew myself. I blew out yourself in Barbara. 605 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: Next game, so con you U and C Greensboro at 606 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 2: Samford Sanford minus one here. Both teams are tied right 607 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 2: now in first place, with Furman at twelve and two 608 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: atop the SoCon gym. Maybe a little bit surprising, especially 609 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: Samford and Greensboro's been excellent as of late. Do you 610 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 2: have a preference in this game? 611 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: I think guy Lean Greensboro. I know they're on the road, 612 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: but Samford hasn't been the same kind of team I 613 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: expected them to be. I thought they'd be up and 614 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,439 Speaker 1: down use their depth. Play through Quest Glover now that 615 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: he's back, big time transfer formerly of Florida. He was 616 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: a prolific scorer last year. Then they added Parum from 617 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. It's like, okay, yeah, this team is going 618 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: to be lethal offensively, and what they are, they're not 619 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: playing that fast defensively. They've slowed things down a bit 620 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: mixed in some zones because I don't think they're very 621 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: good on the ball with Parham and Glover to really 622 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: small guards, and Greensboro's defense is so so good in 623 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: the half court. So Matt, if this game is actually 624 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: a little bit slower, it really really favors Greensboro and 625 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: their physicality. The Langleys have both been playing well in 626 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: the back court, So I think I like the Spartans 627 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 1: on the road. 628 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: I don't like fade Stanford at home. One of the 629 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 2: better home court environments in the country, but their home 630 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 2: dominance hasn't really been all that jaw dropping. I mean, 631 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: they squeaked by a Citadel by six. They beat East 632 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: Tennessee State, who is I don't know. I guess that 633 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: was an okay win by eleven, So I guess I 634 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: shouldn't be as afraid to back you and C Greensboro 635 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 2: on the road. And I do you think that physicality 636 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: will travel well against Stanford who has been playing a bigger, 637 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: more physical lineup. Jim, you mentioned not playing that fast, 638 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 2: not all guard and parhum in Glover Orient and they 639 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: actually have some legit size, So yeah, matches up with them. 640 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: Think they actually steal us went on the road. And 641 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 2: this race in the Sokon gets a little more dicey 642 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 2: by the day, although I think Perman is still the 643 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: top dogs. Like Yeah, Greensboro's defense has been the best 644 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 2: in the SoCon number one and turnover rate number one, 645 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 2: in effective field goal percentage number one and three point 646 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: and two point percentage number one and steel rate and 647 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 2: number one in the best stat of all free throw 648 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 2: percentage defense. Yep, that's right. They're really good at making 649 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: teams missing the free throw line often overlook part Again. 650 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: I'm skipping ahead real quick to Friday, because I do 651 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: want to talk about this IVY matchup, which is very 652 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 2: important for the IVY Tournament because the IVY Tournament allows 653 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: only four teams to play. Both these teams safely in there. 654 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 2: Right now Penn is Yale at Penn. Yale minus two 655 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 2: on the road at pin Jim. Penn is only one 656 00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: game back a first place. Right now, Yale is tied 657 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: in first with Princeton. Penn has won five straight. They're 658 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 2: finally playing up to expectations. I think a lot of 659 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: us thought they would win this league this season, but 660 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: Yale did win Game one by seven at home. What 661 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 2: do you see in this game? 662 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, Kai, I have a pen to win the IVY 663 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: future that I had buried. Thought it was dead and 664 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: gone a couple weeks ago. But now they've battled back 665 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: in the game. But the margins are so thin in 666 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: this league that they're also only a game up in 667 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: staying in the IVY playoff. Six teams clustered between seven 668 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: and three and five and five in this league, and 669 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: you need to get in that top four to make 670 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: the postseason event. This interesting matchup, Matt. I feel like 671 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Yale can bully inside. Their big guys are really really good. 672 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: At the Jarvis Knowling group, there's shop blockers, there's physicality, 673 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: a bunch of lefties. It's almost like harder to match 674 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: up with because they're so disorienting with that. But Penn 675 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: as the best player on the floor. Dingle is fantastic 676 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty point game scorer, and I actually kind of like 677 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: their complimentary weapons as well. George Smith's pretty solid, Jonah 678 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: Charles and I shooter. They're healthier than they've been in 679 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: the past. So I'm going to lean towards Penn, but 680 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: I don't feel confident about it, and I will not 681 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: be betting it. 682 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's profitely some of the fact that Jordan Dingle's 683 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 2: been playing his best ball late when they've had a 684 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: couple of lolls in the schedule where has had time 685 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: to rest. They had a week off between Cornell and 686 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 2: Harvard last game, and Dingle went bananas against Harvard. I 687 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: think you're trying to catch Penn on the first game 688 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 2: of the back to back spots. That's my stupid, sneaky 689 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 2: pen angle because they have so many injuries. Now getting healthier, 690 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 2: I think that helps him here again, that kind of 691 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: maybe potential revenge angle after they lost at Yale, and 692 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 2: obviously with the motivation you guys talked about. I do 693 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: like Penn the Red and Blue baby, yep, Land and 694 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: Penn as well. Here, folks, yeah, go red and blue, 695 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: Go red and blue. All right, onto the trash man 696 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 2: pick of the week, guys, I think I found a 697 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 2: pretty good one here. 698 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: The trash man pick of the week. I'm the trash man. 699 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: Just throw me the trash, your garbage, and you know it, 700 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: totally unreliable, undependable. 701 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 2: That's it. 702 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:44,719 Speaker 1: You've been told off. 703 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: How do you like that? 704 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: Good? 705 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 2: It's in the Big West. We go back to the 706 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 2: Big West. Cal State Bakersfield at cal Polly cal Polly 707 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: minus two for kim pum offensive average possession length how 708 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,920 Speaker 2: fast teams play onto the offensive end. Bakersfield is three 709 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty ninth in the country, aka the fifth 710 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: slowest team in the land. Fourth slowest team excuse me, 711 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: Cal Poly three hundred and twenty eighth in that same 712 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: stat They also play slow offensively in terms of efficiency, 713 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 2: Bakersfield three hundred twenty second, cal Poly three hundred and 714 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 2: forty ninth. It's two slow teams. It's too bad offenses, Matt. 715 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 2: The projected total is one to eighteen. This qualifies as 716 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 2: a trash man pick of the week. What you got 717 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 2: or does it? Look at Cal State Bakerfield's last two games. 718 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 2: They exploded for one point point posession against Klstate Northridge 719 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: games ago, and then they put up sixty nine oh 720 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: and a loss to Long Beach Date. Now, in all 721 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: serious stints, this should be gross. I don't really understand 722 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 2: how KYL State Bakersfield scored in those games. I watched 723 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 2: them play a cople times this year. It's the most 724 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: it sets basket basketball back decades. So yeah, I'm not 725 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 2: watching this game. I kind of think bakers will actually 726 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: wins this. 727 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: One, so I will be betting the under. Kai. I 728 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: think this is a great undergame. Both teams, like you said, 729 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: slower offensively than they are defensively, and you can control 730 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: that more and way better defensively than theyre offensive I 731 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: think that all kind of manifests into a gross under, 732 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: inefficient and slow game, perfect for a trash man pick 733 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: of the Week. 734 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: Game one played sixty one possessions and had one hundred 735 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: and twelve points, So I would say you're on the 736 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 2: right track there, Jim with the under beautiful Love. 737 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: Thanks love to hear that. 738 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 2: All right, guys, spotlight section, We're going to talk about 739 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 2: the two blue bloods that are struggling because everyone is 740 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: talking about this in the public media space, so we 741 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: should get our own, our own takes and hear our 742 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 2: own cracks at it. I'm calling the bubble Bloods are. 743 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 2: What's the approach going forward for these two teams? From 744 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 2: a betting perspective, you have North Carolina and Kentucky. Both 745 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 2: teams right now are eleven seeds per bracket matrix. Kentucky 746 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: is the last team in UNC is the fourth to 747 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 2: last team in now fielding the sixty eight. A team 748 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 2: of very good bracketologist has Kentucky out of the field 749 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 2: currently and you and see playing in Dayton. So these 750 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 2: two teams are very much in date of missing the 751 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 2: dance would be almost inconceivable. Both teams are really poor 752 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: this season against the spread. Un C only twelve teams 753 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: are worse against the number this year. They're eight and 754 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 2: sixteen one and five against the spread their last six 755 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 2: Kentucky ten and fifteen against the spread. They had a 756 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 2: nice run of covers, but just two and three last five, 757 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,319 Speaker 2: and they're hurt. 758 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 1: C j. 759 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 2: Fredericks Saviill Wheeler, both kind of dealing with injuries. 760 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: Jim. 761 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,360 Speaker 2: Both teams have quite a bit of opportunities remaining in 762 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: terms of Q one Q two games, Kentucky a lot 763 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 2: more in the SEC. What is your approach going forward 764 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 2: with them from a betting perspective, keep fading bet on? 765 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 1: What do you think mostly fade? How the hell are 766 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: they going to win a Q one game? These two 767 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: combined are one in sixteen against Q one competition. UNC 768 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: o to nine Kentucky one and seven. For what they 769 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: brought back from Kentucky was a two seed last year, 770 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: brought back the player of the year, and UNC brought 771 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: back the four starters player of the year, and they 772 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: might not make the field. UNC brings back four starters 773 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: from a national finalist and might not make the field. 774 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,360 Speaker 1: It's wild wow, Kai, especially circling the road spots for 775 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: UNC to fade them. They're one and six against the 776 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: spread on the road. They are joyless watching them play basketball. 777 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: They had a little bit of fun against Clemson. You 778 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: could see like a little bit of spirit to him, 779 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: but they don't seem to love each other. Baycot looks 780 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: just so upset that he returned to school this year. 781 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 1: He loves UNC, but like he's playing with these guys 782 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: that just jacked terrible threes, not getting touches unless he 783 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: chases down an offensive rebound. It just feels like they've 784 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: they had a player's only meeting or something before Clemson 785 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: figured something out, and then it just immediately died, turned 786 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 1: around on a Monday and couldn't play against Miami. So yeah, Matt, 787 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking more to fade UNC, especially that at 788 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: NC State game. I don't think they compete on the road. 789 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 1: They're just a terrible road team. 790 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm more in like put pedal to 791 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: metal on fade UNC, where I like kind of easing 792 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 2: into the guest pedal on fading Kentucky. I wish as 793 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 2: a better I had Caleb Love's short term memory and 794 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: just on inhibited confidence where you know you missed seven 795 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 2: to row and you're coming down and firing the next shot, 796 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 2: the next open look you get. I wish I had that? 797 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: How much it's how much blame do we placed on 798 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: Hubert for allowing a lot to do a lot of blame. 799 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 2: He's not a good coach, Yeah, I agree with I 800 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 2: think I think he's I don't say he's an outright 801 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,359 Speaker 2: bad coach. I don't think he's a great coach though. Yeah, 802 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: when big coach doesn't touch the ball, I know, multiple 803 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 2: possessions in a row and crunch time, that's a problem 804 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: in my opinion. 805 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,439 Speaker 1: The coach. 806 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 2: My theory is that he's just trying to really be 807 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 2: the Caleb's my guy and go to bad for his 808 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 2: guy and have his players back and let him play 809 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: how he is wired to play. But that's just at 810 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 2: the expense of your team's actual best player, which is 811 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 2: Mindo Baycot. So yeah'm looking to face. I mean, don't 812 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: we all agree it's gonna find out? Is this will 813 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: wind up in a both teams are in Dayton because 814 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 2: that's just makes the most sense for the ratings and 815 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,839 Speaker 2: money perspective, And it would be good if both teams 816 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 2: made Yeah I hate that I minute, but yeah, I agree. 817 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 2: I want to see both teams played each other, yes, yeah, yeah, right, 818 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 2: let them play each other exactly, and then one of 819 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 2: them teams makes the Sweet sixteen to the Elite eight, 820 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 2: and there's a whole narrative on that as well. But 821 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 2: only only if my als and only if my Cougars 822 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 2: are in the field. Yes, I don't want them to 823 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:17,280 Speaker 2: take those spots. 824 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: So kay, it would be a Q one game for 825 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: both of them if they played a neutral site against 826 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: each other. They're both in the top fifty the net. 827 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: I don't know what would happen there. That's like how 828 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: does a stoppable force for some movable object workout. It's 829 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: a good question. Maybe they both just just quit. 830 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 2: They forfeit the game. So going forward, UNC three total 831 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 2: Q one slash Q two games remaining, Kentucky has five 832 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: of them, gen real quick. Do they make the field? 833 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: Yes or no? Both teams. I don't think UNC does. 834 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: I think Kentucky finds a way in the fact that 835 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: they want at Tennessee is enough of a it's capable 836 00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: where I think they can win down the stretch a 837 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: little bit some of these games and manage their way in. 838 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 1: I just haven't seen it from UNC, Like zero to 839 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 1: nine versqu you and competition, I think you've got to 840 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: get one, and that would require being Virginia at home, 841 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they can do that or like 842 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: I said that at NC State game at a C state, yep, 843 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't think UNC is going to get there. Kentucky 844 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 1: with those five chances, maybe you get Wheeler and Frederick 845 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: healthy and you steal two of those, and I think 846 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: that'd be enough for a big blue nation. But Matt, 847 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: your your doochie rivals maybe on the outside looking in, and. 848 00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 2: That makes me very happy. I feel like they're at 849 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 2: one in NC State, Like this is the one where 850 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 2: it's like coll on cee State. 851 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: This is it. 852 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 2: Just finish it, seal the deal, putting nil on the coffin. 853 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,240 Speaker 2: And that's the game where Caleb Love has the Clemson 854 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,720 Speaker 2: esque out of body seven of eleven from three Davis 855 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 2: is like four of ten from three bay Kai gets 856 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,279 Speaker 2: twenty and twelve and they find a way to win 857 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: and they squeak in and there we see him in 858 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 2: Dayton Well said, all right, fellows, that does it for 859 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: our BBOC podcast.
